‘For all children, the ability to play a musical instrument is just as important as the ability to read and write.’ How far do you agree with this suggestion? How important is it for a child to learn to play a musical instrument, in your view?

#‘for #children #ability #instrument #suggestion #child
There is a suggestion that musical
skills
 should be as important as reading and writing
skills
 for
kids
. In my opinion,
kids
 should learn musical
skills
 for entertainment, not reading and writing
skills
.
Hence
, reading and writing
skills
 are more important than musical
skills
 because if a kid doesn't know how to read and write, they can’t play musical
instruments
 either.
Firstly
, reading and writing
skills
 are paramount for all
kids
 but not musical
skills
. Not every child can play musical
instruments
 and enjoy them. There are minor
children
 or we can call prodigies who can play musical
instruments
 very soon.
However
, all the prodigies or normal
children
 know reading and writing before they can play musical
instruments
 because their parents ensure their
kids
 have to know literacy.
Secondly
, there is a lot of important academic information that people need to know how to read and write. The
children
 cannot read music sheets if they know how to read. All of these reasons can prove that the
ability
 to read and write is more important than the
ability
 to play musical
instruments
. Of course, the
ability
 to play music is important for talented
kids
.
However
, other
kids
 don’t need to have that
ability
. For those
kids
 who don't have enough
ability
 to play musical
instruments
, they must have the right to choose what they want to learn. To illustrate
this
 point, some
kids
 have an
ability
 in sciences, some are in art. So we can’t force them to learn what they don’t like. We just need to teach them where it is bad and good. In conclusion,
children
 can play musical
instruments
 but for fun not like reading and writing because they are life
skills
. I quietly agree that the
ability
 to play musical
instruments
 is important but for the prodigies, not every child.
